I've been very sick this week. On Monday morning I had a seizure. It was the first one I've ever had in my life. My sister and her bf were here. They called 911 and the ambulance came and got me. I was in there for two nights. I had all sorts of tests ran on me, thank God for insurance! Today I went and got more blood work done. Next Friday I'm supposed to have a prolonged EEG test done. So, I'll have to be at the neurologists office all day long. But, I think we figured out what it is. This morning I had a terrible headache and nothing was getting rid of it. I had a craving for m&m's, so we got some and my headache went away. Then Eric remembered that in the emergency room the nurse mentioned that my blood sugar was low. So I looked it up and it says that can cause seizures. My mom talked to the nurse that comes to her work and she said it sure can. She also told her that I've been extremely cold and tired for a long time and the nurse said that can cause that too. So, I'm going to call my dr on Monday and see if they'll test me for that and hopefully I won't have to have the EEG thing done.

Tomorrow will be a year since my Daddy passed away. I really can't believe it. I don't want to believe it. I miss him. I still haven't dealt with his passing. I don't want to. I miss him with every part of me. My mom, sister and her bf are coming down tomorrow. I wish my brother was too but I guess his wife's family is having a family reunion tomorrow too so he can't. Where did the year go? Why does he have to be gone? My only solice is knowing that he's in Heaven not suffering anymore. At least he's getting to roll down those big hills that he always dreamed of. So, to the best Daddy that ever did walk this earth, THANK YOU! You are such an inspiration to me and I love you more than words can ever express.

Oh sweety, I hope every thing is okay. I look in on you often but you don't post very much but I'm always here wishing you peace and happiness.

I'm sorry to hear you were so sick; I hope they are able to run some more test and find out what is going on. Hugs to you on the anniversary of your dad's passing; I can't imagine how hard that must be.

I'm so sorry to hear that you're having medical problems, but glad that you may have it figured out. If it's a blood sugar thing, it will be fairly easy to keep under control.

I feel your pain about missing your dad...I still miss my mom 14 years later, and probably always will. Playing with my grandson reminds me of how she was when my boys were babies...always smiling and loving every minute she got to spend with them. I even play the pattycake game with Sawyer like she did with my boys...it makes me miss her all the more, but it makes me smile, too. Like your father, though, I know she is out of pain and in God's loving care.

Take care of yourself, and let's see some more pictures of that little guy on here..... :)
